Regiment under arms
all afternoon. Logan exploded another mine. He blew up quite a large portion of
their works and a number of rebels—seven lit inside our lines dead; one darky
was alive and says he was blown up three miles. No assault made. Our mine not
yet ready. Everthing indicates another general assault soon. Rumor says it will
be on the 4th of July. Weather exceedingly hot.
